Corning
Transforming a 46,000 square foot Walmart into a cutting-edge laboratory and office space for Corning pushed the possibilities of adaptive reuse. This project, completed in just three months, involved installing advanced structures like air compressors, chill-water and deionizing systems. Challenges came with managing the electrical loads of these MEP systems, as well as connecting them throughout the laboratories. Meeting the needs of the scientists and keeping in line with compliance codes required extensive mapping and a long approval process. Our solution was to select experienced and qualified subcontractors, who were able to work collectively in organized pool meetings during the pre-construction phase.
